Some deep bases already here with some of the snowiest months ahead of us. As expected the west dominates this list, but there is a surprise at #4, where the base is listed on its own website as being 57-104″ deep. Wow!

The top six have all reached 100″, and the top two both have bases deeper than 11 FEET.

These are the 9 resorts reporting the deepest snowpacks this week:
